TECHO Colombia

TECHO is an amazing organization that strives to eradicate poverty in Latin America. Throughout my time interning for TECHO, I had the opportunity to work with others interns from around the world, take on new projects and even help build a house in the communas of Bogotá. This was, in my opinion, the best part of the internship because I got to see how the other citizens of Bogotá live. The communas lie on the periphery of the city, so it was truly another world away from the epicenter. The family we helped was very grateful to us for what we were doing and the community itself was extremely happy we were there and they even helped us in the building process. It was a truly wonderful opportunity to get to know so many new people and work with others.
